Give some RAIN....!!!!!!!!

We had planned for ages of throwing a party on completing our Post graduation. Not everything that we expected was happening in the days after our grading exams.. I didnt top..Murtu got screwed in the vivas even after topping the theory...Omu ..got posted to a non family station....well part of life isnt it.

Yet like the Unsinkable Molly Brown aboard the Titanic .. nothing could really keep us down for long .. the trip to Pondicherry was refreshing to say the least.

We worked at making this party memorable and well ensure that folks miss us sorely and surely .. when we leave.

Omu was cajoled into writing the framework of a skit and it soon attained the full colours under the wildly imaginative minds of me and murtu.

The evening was spent fighting with the system to waggle out the larger speakers and three microphones. It never ceases to amaze me the way people hold on to things that belong to and institution as if it was meant to exist for infinity .. ya getting possessive about the Tajmahal is one thing, caring for it is another, but covering it up with a shed so that no one sees it or it doesnt get damaged is ..well basically defeating the whole purpose isnt it..!!

anyway it was horribly hot and humid and not a shred of cloud in the sky till 6:45

Anyway the party started ..lit up like a christmas tree with music and games in waiting ..

Omu goes to the mike and says the party starts with the theme song "Give me some sunshine...give me some rain " ..and by God it rained .. not just rained it poured .. and it poured and poured ...for the next two hours. the party was a disaster .. with the music system wet , no chance of a rain dance either.

We moved to the mess and the the hand of God showed it self again and a plywod partition crashed on a couple of ladies ..Sweta included.

Well what more could go wrong .. no .. we salvaged a few things..two songs went off okay.

And then we did the skit .. i was already a couple down .. so the words flowed and the script was being modified and everyone went on their own grid and yet it held on together.. Ashu showed some brilliant improvisation skills.

And the n the phone call came.. a house is on fire .. Great ..just great ..!! what more now ..???

No damage to life or property ..but what a scare.

One things for certain..noones going to forget the evening in a hurry
